It is quite enchanting to visit the unique shops and the restaurant selections are great too with choices such as Trail's Edge Brewery, Fat Rosie's Taco and Tequila Bar and The White Street Cafe! And don't forget to visit the children's museum with the kiddo's!

I honestly cannot think of living anywhere else and am proud to call Frankfort, Illinois my home! Read Less
